Answer 1

Dear Student

Average Speed

• The distance travelled by an object in a given interval of timthe is called average speed
• It is a scalar quantity
• Average speed does not indicate direction and can only be positive or zero.

Average Velocity

• the rate of change of displacement is called avergae velocity
• It is a vector quantity
• Average velocity indicates direction and can be represented as a negative number when the displacement is in the negative direction, so it can be zero, positive or negative number.
